Of all the GOTY contenders, the Witcher 3 plays vary similarly to previous in the series, while Bloodborne is probably the most different. Bloodborne is pretty severely different from the Souls games, actually. It's almost closer to Devil May Cry than it is to a Souls game, but it isn't quite like that either. Honestly, I think Bloodborne's closest analog is probably that it's very similar to what a 3D Castlevania SOTN would be like. MGS5 is decently different from what previous games in the series were like as well. But yeah, Bloodborne has very strong elements of Souls, Castlevania, and DMC. It's a really great game, for me, it takes the best of all those franchises (3 of my faves) and makes it's own mark.
Rocket League is the shit. Pretty good list. I've been noticing a lot of love for Undertale, but as I understand it, it's probably never going to come to consoles because of the way the saving system works. That's kind of a bummer.

Agree with Ted, Witcher 3 is my GOTY too
Pretty decent picks. Yep, surprised he didn't include Bloodborne instead of Undertale..
Pretty damn good list
